1/10

Maurizio Ravalico is a percussionist, composer, educator and explorer of the sound of all things. Based in London since 1991, he is also a frequent presence in Berlin. His lifelong penchant for cross-pollinating ideas, musical styles and art forms has led him to navigate successfully in realms as divergent as funk, pop, salsa, theatre, contemporary dance, experimental composition, poetry, free-form improvisation, jazz and electronic music.

Maurizio' has toured and/or recorded with Paul McCartney, Jamiroquai, the James Taylor Quartet, Paul Young, Snowboy, Alex Wilson, Steve Beresford, Pat Thomas, Phaedra Ensemble, Melt Yourself Down, Eska Mtungwazi, Dele Sosimi, Orphy Robinson, Rotary Connection 222, Tamar Osborn, Bex Burch, Dudú Kouate and many others.
He runs an ongoing solo percussion project, and manages The New Conga Lab, an online platform of new studies for conga drums. A Thousand Rawhide Diaphragms, an album of new music for congas, is to this date his latest signature release.

"Maurizio has taken the art of ‘music for congas’ to the next level (…) Such an adventurous album and far more than you’d expect (…) this is one to investigate." (youandthemusic.com)

Available on limited edition three-fold digisleeve packaged cd, and download

Streaming is easy, Spotify is cheap, But listening to an album while savouring a good looking package with hands and eye, taking in the pictures that were created to accompany it while reading long and insightful liner notes has no match.

And, think of the majority of the money you've spent for such experience going to the artist, instead of up the arse of some CEO who hasn't written a good melody in his entire life.
Be a good girl; Be a good boy. Don't be a shallow swimmer. Buy physical.
